REVIEW: Home (2015)

virginiakublawi | Oct 10, 2021 | 0

DreamWorks‘ Home didn’t appeal to me at all in its marketing, and I haven’t thought much about it since its release. I distinctly remember feeling like this film was only interested in the youngest viewers judging by its lowbrow humor and simplistic character designs. The stunt c...

One movie I’ve been waiting for what feels like eons for is No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s swansong for his iteration of James Bond. From cast injuries to COVID-related delays, this movie has been through the wringer on the path to the cinema screen. Daniel Craig hasn’t been my fav...
